"My flower beds had roofing materials in them. The attic had nails and broken shingles in it. Mr. Adams said the insurance wouldn't pay to replace boards so he replaced some but not all. He didn't charge me extra for the boards. The yard and driveway had nails in it. Years after the installation I made 2 calls to come out to fix the loose shingles. *The F grade is for nails and shingles in the yard, my flowers, the attic and the driveway.* It took me a long time to pay off the account but he never gave me a hard time about it. I did get it paid off. I will give this company another try because Mr. Adams was nice to me about my payments."

"Everlasting gutters and siding were exactly what my wife and I were looking for when we decided to re-side our East Nashville home. We had several companies come out and bid on the job (including Lowe’s) and in the end we went with Elder and his crew of professionals. They showed up when they said they would, did great work, and they did it all with a smile on their faces! We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! If you’re looking for a smaller company that you can trust—call Everlasting!"

"After calling several roofing companies for pricing and availability, I scheduled a roof maintenance service with Southern Strong because they offered the best price AND could accommodate my schedule. The very next day, Wade arrived promptly, inspected my roof, and then showed me photos as he explained the situation: the flashing around the exhaust fan (as well as other places) was not properly sealed, and there were several exposed nails and penetrations. After he caulked the exposed nails and re-secured the headwall flashing, he showed me photos of the completed work. He said that if that these repairs didn't solve the problem, he would recommend replacing the flashing and the affected shingles. It is now seven months later, and I haven't had a single problem with the roof since then. I highly recommend Southern Strong Roofing: they are pleasant professionals who provide affordable, effective, and thorough service. The next time I have a roofing problem, I will make one call--and that will be to Southern Strong."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

"From the beginning to the end of our roofing project- every professional we dealt with was fantastic. About 6 months ago we hired this company to do trim and gutter work. We did have to get them to fix one problem after install - bigger gutters preventing the back storm door opening. Two of the biggest reasons why we went with this amazing company is the quality of work and warranty. They are extremely thoughtful and take the time to explain the entire process and you can add the Pulse App on your phone and get notifications and product warranty information in case you were to need it later which we did. I would highly recommend this company and will call them again if I ever need work done."

"James is reliable and very professional. I would absolutely call him back to do additional work. Over the last few years he has completed a few different projects including a metal roof, he turned my carport into a two car garage and the last time he was here he screened in and covered our back porch. My wife loves it. I Highly recommend"

"Frank is very nice gentleman and showed great patience with my questions and frustrations. The original plans called for concrete patio, but with the Tennessee weather, the rain had other ideas. Ultimately we installed a 16x16 ground floor deck and a 6x4 deck leading up to sliding door. The demo, build, and finishing took three days. The work was high quality and they cleaned up the site well. I have other projects I need to have done around the house and Frank found a return customer. Thanks Frank!!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Rockvale, TN

A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.

To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.

Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.

Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.

Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.

To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point. 

Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
